This is caused when a user (with cookies diabled and the PHP Session ID passed in their URL) copy/pastes a Segue url containing the session ID into an email or external website. When students (or others click on that link, they are now using the session with the id specified in the url. Multiple users clicking such a link would all end up using the same session, causing login/logout actions of one user to apply to state of all users who clicked that link.

This Media Library link allows users to easily get urls of Media Library files to copy/paste into HTML or text editors. When text content blocks are saved to database the $cfg[uploadurl] and $sitename portions of Media Library file urls (i.e. entire url except filename) are converted to a placeholder (i.e. unique string). When text content blocks are displayed or edited (i.e. fetched from database), the url placeholder is converted back to actual current media file url (based on current $cfg[uploadurl] and site * Bug Fix: (Alex Chapin) Fixed bug in media library (filebrowser.php) that prevented getting custom upload limits when called from add content block UI * Change: #982246 (Alex Chapin) Link type pages no longer open in new window. * Change: #982246 (Alex Chapin) Link type content blocks no longer print out urls greater than 70 characters but instead truncate their display to avoid stretching their enclosing * Change: (Alex Chapin) Have changed full text link (for content blocks with extended text) so that it is appended at the end of short text as "...more."

This feature will allow those who post to a discussion to attach a file. Upload UI uses the site Media Library (accessible from filebrowser.php).
